Some ideas include

- getting on the phone to pitch your concept
- MPAF (Multiple Party Agenda Fulfilment) to chart a win-win for five or six parties simultaneously
- Selling the ceo’s ass’t
- Getting the right person to pitch
- Hacking the company directory for someone to sell to
- Leaving a vm that gets immediate call backs
